I recently purchased 8 Gb ram, because it's just criminally cheap right now (yay, economic collapse pays off), and I had XP 32bit installed, so I've been forced to move to a 64 bit OS.

 I've shunned Vista since I tried it last year, so what other reasonable options did I have? Luckily the new Windows 7 beta has just been released, so I tried that one, and so far I'm really, really pleased. It does a lot of small things better than XP and is still very responsive and quick.

Aero is much like it is in vista, but I think it seems more refined. I've yet to do more extensive research on it (ie. run World of Warcraft.. installing now), but so far, yeah, awesome.

Has anyone else tried it yet? What are your reactions?
